I still tie a hitch on the cleat. No upgrades from the OE. Rubber self
tailing long gone.

Sneaked out of work early again (its becoming a habit;) as the wind
was 5-10 steady from the NE. Hanked on the 150 genoa and headed out
to the lake. The C27 sails real nice with that size sail in that
wind, almost hands off.
Now to my question. The stock winches are Lewmar 10s w/rubber self
tailers with a cleat aft. I actually found it easier to not use the
winch and luff the headsail and cleat. What is your upgrade? Have
you switched to cam cleats instead of the regulate cleat? upgraded
the winches? What do you find to be the best way to 'cleat your
sheet', especially when single handed?
